2 lb ground beef sautéed with onion (if onion desired)
2 cans corn (do not drain)
2 cans kidney beans (do not drain)
1 BIG can tomato juice (46 oz...which is a little over 1 quart)
1 pint Salsa
1 pkg Taco seasoning
Brown beef and then add other ingredients. Mix and heat in a large pot on the stove. Top with Fritos, sour cream, and shredded cheddar. Also great to make in a crockpot after browning beef. This is a large recipe but I would imagine it would be easy to freeze for later as well.
Another treat we made was Pumpkin Spice Chex Mix. Pumpkin is all the rage and so Chex came out with a little spice packet to make the chex mix. It was fine as is after following the directions on the packet but I would change it up a bit for next time. Chex has a similar recipe not using the new spice packet that can be found here.
My version for next time...
3 cups cinnamon chex
2 cups corn or rice chex
1 cup honey teddy grahams
mini chocolate chips
chopped pecans
1/4 cup butter
spice packet
In a large bowl toss chex, teddy grahams, chocolate chips, and pecans. Melt butter and mix with spice packet. Stir over chex mix, until coated.
At this point the direction called for microwaving chex mix for 3 minutes, stirring every minute, to glaze...my bowl was too big so I spread onto baking sheet and baked at 350 for a few minutes until glazed, stirring it around. This process takes a bit longer.
For an extra pumpkin kick I would melt some of Hershey Kisses, pumpkin spice kisses and drizzle over mix. Allow to cool then break apart and enjoy!
